SUPPLY CHAIN VIDEOS
In this Bioprocess Online Live panel, we discuss the current state of the mRNA supply chain for critical raw materials and manufacturing supplies and where pain points still exist.
While the speed of production and flexibility of mRNA are appealing, several industry challenges must still be addressed to realize the full potential and further expand its use.
While we can make lots of mRNA at a smaller scale, when it comes to scaling up to kg quantities of mRNA, our current batch processes leave a lot to be desired. Together, Stu Sundseth of Tune Therapeutics and Christian Dohmen of Ethris unpack the biggest barriers to scaling IVT to achieve the desired yield and quality of mRNA, offering their take on how the field is innovating to overcome these issues.
Camp4’s Satya Kuchimanchi highlights where he has seen the most growth in the oligo supply chain over the past few years, as well as which industry trends have been driving these shifts.
